Light filters through a gap in the heavy boards covering a window within Female Ward 9 & 10. The room remains dim, echoing its past as a place of confinement.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A large room stripped bare. Pale yellow paint peels from every surface, curling away from plaster walls in thick flakes. The ceiling sags where sections have collapsed entirely, exposing the timber lath beneath. Plywood boards cover two windows and the central doorway. One window remains uncovered, letting hard daylight fall across a small desk pushed against the wall. A single chair sits in the far corner. The floor is a carpet of fallen plaster and debris.

Dr Frederic Norton Manning rejected the asylum as 'a cemetery for deceased intellects'. In 1876 he toured asylums in England, France, Germany and the United States, returning with drawings of Chartham Down Hospital in Kent. Working with Colonial Architect James Barnet and Botanic Gardens director Charles Moore, he built Australia's first hospital purpose-built for moral therapy treatment on the Iron Cove foreshore.
